from natural-dyed organic cotton. Another punk-knit creation, for who wants to follow a pattern!

Cuddly!

And as an excited aunty, I couldn't help buying a few gifts to welcome her into the world!

The handwoven bunny and dog are from Oxfam. The little dog, known now as Henry, is actually a wheat bag for your eyes, but is just so cute and smells of lovely lavender for extra soothing goodness. He is by Mahaguthi, "craft with a conscience" in Nepal. The Red bunny is by the women’s skill development project Pokhara and is 100% cotton, vegetable dyes.

The rattle is from EarthTribe, who are my now favourite toy makers! Fair Trade, Ethical & sustainable timbers with natural dyes, created in tribes and communities by local craftspeople. I believe it is a melbourne based company. I'm going to watch closely for any new stuff they bring out.
